Near record
crowds at Clipsal
STACEY ROBERTS
THE Clipsal 500 is over for
another year, with hundreds
of thousands of people
descending on eastern
Adelaide across the four-day
event.
A total of 285,600 people
attended the 2015 Clipsal 500
–
the third-highest attendance
in the event’s history.
Attendance on the final day
was up almost 10,000 on last
year, with 93,600 race fans
pouring through the gates on
Sunday, March 1, to watch
James Courtney for Holden
claim back-to-back victories
on the Adelaide street circuit.
Courtney claimed his second
Clipsal 500 Adelaide trophy,
winning in overall points and
the all-important 250km main
race on Sunday.
He was followed closely
by fellow Holden teammates
Shane Van Gisbergan and
Garth Tander in second and
third place respectively.
“It was a great effort from
the boys and to go back to
back is an awesome start to the
year at HRT and it’s great to
have someone different win-
ning the races,” Courtney said.
Tens of thousands of race
fans stayed on to watch
Spiderbait and 100 Proof warm
up the crowd on Sunday night
before Cold Chisel took to the
stage for their 40th anniversary
concert.
Earlier in the day, the Toyo
Tyres Stadium Super Trucks
was won by owner Robby
Gordon, while Steven Richards
took out the final race in the
Porsche Carrerra Cup.
Popular attractions across
the four-day event included the
Ferrari Supercar display, vin-
tage and classic cars, stunt and
BMX bikes, and the Roulettes,
the RAAF’s elite formation
aerobatic display team.
State Tourism Minister Leon
Bignell said he expected close
to $60 million was pumped
into the state’s economy during
the Clipsal 500.
“With four days of thrill-
ing on-track motorsport from
seven race categories including
the Toyo Tyres Stadium Super
Trucks, which raced for points
outside North America for the
first time, fans enjoyed non-
stop excitement on the icon-
ic Adelaide street circuit,” he
said.
“Add to that the Ferrari
display of the world’s rarest
supercars including the F40,
F50 and ‘LaFerrari’.
“The Clipsal 500 Adelaide
gave petrol-heads an unforget-
table experience.”
